Description

Luis Vidal + architects - From Process to Results

Though only founded in 2004, the practice of Luis
Vidal is now one of the five largest in Spain and has
quickly established an international reputation for its
large-scale public buildings.
In particular it is renowned for its airport designs,
which include Madrid Airport Terminal 4 (in
association with Richard Rogers), Zaragoza Airport,
and Heathrow Terminal 2. The practice is also involved
in several hospital projects across Spain, as well as
smaller-scale residential buildings, interior designs,
and product designs.
This book looks at all the major projects that have
been built or designed to date, but its primary focus
is on the working process behind the practice. It
looks at the role of collaboration with other architects
and designers; the crucial role of the clients; and the
importance of cross-disciplinary approaches and
lateral thinking. In order to reinforce the process-led
approach to their work, the book’s innovative design
includes numerous links and cross-references between
projects and design concepts.
